Progress Appeals

The Progress of Students Regulations allow a student to appeal, on specified grounds, against a decision of the Faculty Student Review Committee to the Appeals Committee of the Senate.

You may only appeal against a decision of the Committee upon one or more of the following grounds:-

(a) that there was a material procedural irregularity which rendered the process leading to the initial decision unfair;

(b) that material which the student could not reasonably have been expected to produce at the time of the initial decision casts substantial doubt upon the appropriateness of that decision;

(c) that the initial decision was manifestly unreasonable.

You should apply in writing, or fill in a Progress Appeals Form within 14 working days of receiving your decision letter, for your case to be considered by the Appeals Committee of the Senate in accordance with the established Procedures.  The Committee may confirm, quash or vary the original decision but has no power to vary any decision made by the Examiners.
